E3 2014: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Will Be the Last in the Series, Hints Nolan North

Nolan North, the voice actor behind just about every video game protagonist ever – including Nathan Drake – has recently said that he believes Uncharted 4: A Thief's End will be the last game in the popular series. Speaking with IGN, the smooth sounding star stated that he hopes the franchise stays in the right hands.

"If this is the last one indeed, and I believe it’s the last one – nothing’s confirmed, but I believe it’s the last one Naughty Dog wants to do," North said, "I hope that somebody else doesn’t pick up the mantle, because they’ve done it so well for so long." However, he was quick to assure us that the newest entry will definitely hold up the series' impressive pedigree. “I like the idea of going out on top, so we better do a hell of a job with this one," the actor continued. “And it’s already looking pretty good.”

While the idea of this being the last time we'll witness Nathan Drake's signature smirk is certainly bittersweet, we're equally as excited to see what developer Naughty Dog can come up with next, especially after its absolutely sublime recent effort The Last of Us.

Would you be sad to see the franchise end, or are you happy for its talented studio to forge into uncharted territory? Duck for cover in the comments section below.

I like Uncharted, but no series should stay around forever, itll just start getting dull. I rather the series go with a bang, then see game after game and see the series turn into something people are sick of (right call of duty? )

Kind of agree with this. I love Uncharted but I think it's a story that needs a natural end, and there's also the fact that Naughty Dog's best work seems to be on newer franchises. They have one in The Last of Us that is still good for another story or two and given Naughty Dog's track record I don't see any reason why the developers couldn't come up with a new IP to replace Uncharted that is just as good or better.

I have loved the uncharted series been one of best ever and i dont think its done just yet they could make another 2-3 games before ending the series and with nathan drake being one of the loveable and best characters created you might see him in another game in the future as a special guest
